> I think it's completely reasonable in 2023 to expect the general public to carry their mobile phones around with them.
I have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. Phones get lost, stolen, damaged, compromised, forgotten and batteries die or get low enough to not want to drain what's left reading a menu when paper menus have existed for trillions of years and didn't need fixing.
Many families also have a "no devices at the dinner table" policy and so it's annoying for the restaurant to undermine that.
So no. I don't think it's reasonable to expect me to use MY phone when I'm in person at your establishment.
The market will ultimately decide, however. I know I'm the grumpy old guy that hates tech despite being a software engineer.
